Title: The Merchant Prince of Poverty Row Condition: New Subtitle: Harry Cohn of Columbia Pictures Author: Bernard F. Dick Format: Paperback ISBN-10: 0813152097 EAN: 9780813152097 ISBN: 9780813152097 Publisher: The University Press of Kentucky Genre: Biography Topic: Music Dance & Theatre, Films & TV Release Date: 19/10/2021 Description: Ben Hecht called him "White Fang," and director Charles Vidor took him to court for verbal abuse. The image of Harry Cohn as vulgarian is such a part of Hollywood lore that it is hard to believe there were other Harry Cohns: the only studio president who was also head of production; the ex-song plugger who scrutinized scripts and grilled writers at story conferences; a man who could look at actresses as either "broads" or goddesses. Drawing on personal interviews as well as previously unstudied source material (conference notes, memos, and especially the teletypes between Harry and his brother Jack), Bernard Dick offers a radically different portrait of the man who ran Columbia Pictures - and who "had to be boss" - from 1932 to 1958.
